All the animals on the top of the hill didn’t care anything about the rain, and Giriraj himself he was being touched by th etip of Krishna’s little finger of his left hand. Krishna through that little finger was infusing Giriraj, with his love. Giriraj was in such happiness that Indra’s most powerful thunderbolts felt like flower petals.
Then Indra sent the most powerful winds of the universe , specifically to blow the hill off the tip of his finger of the left hand. In world history there have been so many powerful hurricanes and no power could stop them.
Indra was sending the winds of devastation and accompanying them were torrential rain and lightning. Indra tried whatever power he had but nothing happened. When Krishna wants to smash your pride He does it so expertly, because of Giriraj’s ecstasy of being touched by Krishna’s little finger, the deers were walking fearlessly and the lions were roaring at the clouds as if they were non-sense.
After using all his might for seven days, Indra with all his Samvartaka clouds and strong winds could not remove a single grain of sand from Govardhan. Finally Indra’s pride was annihilated.
